I think that's a pretty pivotal moment in the history of the Linux desktop.

I always thought it would be great but never imagined it would actually happen.

Hm.. I think they'll need more than a collection of indie games to be honest with you. The day something genuinely high profile - say a FIFA or Madden - has a simultaneous launch on Linux, that day maybe. Steam at the end of the day is just a container. A container the industry quite likes I'll grant you,but they still have to convince people there's enough linux users willing to pay for stuff to make it worth their while to port stuff.
